It shall be noted that in some embodiments, powering-on of the coil structures 210 and the lead-out electrodes 230 therein is controlled separately.

In order to facilitate contacting of the pins 420 of the LEDs 410 with the lead-out electrodes 230, the lead-out electrodes 230 extend beyond the coil structures 210.

In some embodiments, each coil structure 210 further includes lead-out terminals (not illustrated) connected to a power source, and when the respective coil structures 210 are connected with each other through the electrically-conductive bridge 250, the electrically-conductive bridge 250 is connected with one of the two lead-out terminals of the coil structures 210, and the lead-out terminals which are not connected with the electrically-conductive bridge 250 are a common lead-out terminal of the respective coil structures 210.

A method for fabricating a backboard according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes following steps.

Step S1100 is to prepare a backboard body 100.

Step S1200 is to form a plurality of LED installation mounts arranged in an array on the backboard body 100, where each of the plurality of LED installation mounts includes at least two lead-out electrodes 230 to be connected with pins 420 of an LED 410, and a coil structure 210 around each of the at least two lead-out electrodes 230, where the coil structure 210 is configured to generate a magnetic field upon being powered on.

In the method above for fabricating a backboard, the LED installation mounts arranged in an array is formed on the backboard body 100 in the step S1200, and since there are at least two lead-out electrodes 230 in each LED installation mount, and the coil structure 210 is arranged around each lead-out electrode 230, when a transfer body 300 carrying an array of LEDs 410 is aligned with the backboard body 100 including the array of LED installation mounts, the LEDs 410 correspond to the LED installation mounts, and when the coil structures 210 are powered on, the coil structures 210 generate a magnetic field, so that the magnetic field generated by the coil structures 210 absorbs the corresponding pins 420 in the LEDs 410 in the combination of the paired LEDs 410 and LED installation mounts, and the pins 420 are automatically positioned precisely onto the lead-out electrodes 230 in the corresponding coil structures 210, so the LEDs 410 are positioned precisely onto the LED installation mounts, thus transferring the LEDs in a mass manner with a high good yield ratio.

In the method above for fabricating a backboard, an optional implementation of the step S1200 is as follows:

metal line patterns 211 with indentations, and dielectric layers 220 with via-holes are formed alternately on the backboard body 100 in a patterning process, where two adjacent layers of metal line patterns 211 are electrically connected through the via-holes so that the respective layers of metal line patterns 211 with the indentations are connected to form the coil structures 210;

through-holes running to the backboard body 100 are formed at the dielectric layers 220 in the metal line patterns 211; and

electrically-conductive media are formed in the through-holes and patterned to form the lead-out electrodes 230.

In some embodiments, referring to the structure as illustrated in FIG. 1.

Step S1210 is to form a backboard electrode 240 on the backboard body 100 at positions corresponding to each lead-out electrode 230 in a patterning process.

Step S1220 is to form a first layer of dielectric layer 220 on the backboard electrode 240 in a patterning process.

Step S1230 is to form a first layer of annular metal line pattern 211 including an indentation.

Step S1240 is to form a second layer of dielectric layer 220 on the first layer of metal line pattern 211 in a pattering process, and to form a first via-hole at the second layer of dielectric layer 220 at a position corresponding to the indentation of the first layer of annular metal line pattern 211.

Step S1250 is to deposit an electrically-conductive medium in the first via hole to form a first connecting segment 212, where one end of the first connecting segment 212 is connected with one end at the indentation of the first layer of annular metal line pattern 211.

Step S1260 is to form a second layer of metal line pattern 211 including an indentation on the second layer of dielectric layer 220 in a patterning process, where one end of the indentation of the second layer of metal line pattern 211 comes into contact with the other end of the first connecting segment 212, and the first layer of annular metal line pattern 211, the first connecting segment 212, the second layer of metal line pattern 211, a second connecting segment 212, and a third layer of metal line pattern 211 are connected sequentially in a closed manner to form the coil structure 210.

Step S1270 is to form a through-hole running to the backboard electrode 240 through the respective dielectric layers 220 in an area surrounded by the coil structure 210 in a patterning process.

Step S1280 is to form an electrically-conductive medium in the through-hole, and to pattern the electrically-conductive medium to form the lead-out electrode 230.

In the process above, the first layer of dielectric layers 220 are firstly formed on the backboard electrodes 240 to thereby prevent the first layers of metal line patterns 211 from coming into contact with the backboard electrodes 240, which substantially does not easily cause a short circuit between the backboard electrodes 240 and the metal line patterns 211 when subsequently the lead-out electrodes 230 come into contact with the pins 420 of the LEDs 410, and the respective coil structures 210 are connected through the electrically-conductive bridge 250.

It shall be noted that the backboard electrodes 240 may not necessarily be arranged as long as the lead-out electrodes 230 and the coil structures 210 are powered on separately, and for example, the lead-out electrodes 230 and the coil structures 210 are powered on respectively by power supply line patterns formed on the backboard body 100.

Furthermore neither the number of layers of dielectric layers 220, nor the number of layers of metal line patterns 211 will be limited to a particular number of layers, but there is at least one layer of dielectric layer 220, and there are at least two layers of metal line patterns 211.

There may be another implementation of the step S1200 than the implementation above thereof, for example, the coil structures 210 including the lead-out electrodes 230 at the middle thereof are trans-printed directly onto the backboard body 100.

Moreover referring to the structure as illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, after the step S1200, the method can further include forming an electrically-conductive bridge 250 in a patterning process to connect the respective coil structures 210 sequentially. Where, the electrically-conductive bridge 250 can be formed at the same layer as some layer of metal line pattern 211 in the coil structures 210, or can be formed after the coil structures 210 are formed.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, a display device according to embodiments of the disclosure includes: a display panel including the backboard according to the embodiments of the disclosure, LEDs 410 on the LED installation mounts, where pins 420 of the LEDs 410 come into contact with the lead-out electrodes 230 of the corresponding LED installation mounts in a one-to-one manner; and a protective film 500 packaging sides of the LEDs 410 away from the backboard body 100.

Here as illustrated in FIG. 4, each LED 410 can be packaged separately and covered with a protective film 500 so that the protective film 500 covers both the LED 410 and its corresponding LED installation mount, and the edge of the protective film 500 comes into contact and is fixed with the backboard body 100; or a plurality of LEDs 410 can be packaged with the same protective film 500.

The display device above can be fabricated in such a way that the LEDs are transferred in a mass manner with a high good yield ratio. When a transfer body 300 carrying an array of LEDs 410 is aligned with the backboard body 100 including the array of LED installation mounts, the LEDs 410 correspond to the LED installation mounts, and when the coil structures 210 are powered on, the coil structures 210 generate a magnetic field, so that the magnetic field generated by the coil structures 210 absorbs the corresponding pins 420 in the LEDs 410 in the combination of the paired LEDs 410 and LED installation mounts, and the pins 420 are automatically positioned precisely onto the lead-out electrodes 230 in the corresponding coil structures 210, so the LEDs 410 are positioned precisely onto the LED installation mounts, thus transferring the LEDs in a mass manner with a high good yield ratio. The sides of the LEDs 410 away from the backboard body 100 are packaged with the protective film 500 to thereby protect the LEDs 410 from falling off or being damaged.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, a method for fabricating the display device according to embodiments of the disclosure includes the following steps.

Step S1000 is to prepare the backboard according to the embodiments of the disclosure.

Step S2000 is to align a transfer body 300 in which LEDs 410 are distributed, with the backboard body 100 in the backboard so that at least a part of the LED installation mounts correspond to the LEDs 410.

Step S3000 is to power on the coil structures 210 in the backboard to generate a magnetic field, and to release the LEDs 410 in the transfer body 300 onto the LED installation mounts so that the pins 420 of the LEDs 410 come into contact with the lead-out electrodes 230 in their corresponding LED installation mounts in a one-to-one manner.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the sides of the LEDs 410 away from the backboard body 100 are packaged with the protective film 500.

In the method above for fabricating a display device, the LEDs can be transferred in a mass manner with a high good yield ratio. When the transfer body 300 carrying an array of LEDs 410 is aligned with the backboard body 100 including the array of LED installation mounts, the LEDs 410 correspond to the LED installation mounts, and when the coil structures 210 are powered on, the coil structures 210 generate a magnetic field, so that the magnetic field generated by the coil structures 210 absorbs the corresponding pins 420 in the LEDs 410 in the combination of the paired LEDs 410 and LED installation mounts, and the pins 420 are automatically positioned precisely onto the lead-out electrodes 230 in the corresponding coil structures 210, so the LEDs 410 are positioned precisely onto the LED installation mounts, thus transferring the LEDs in a mass manner with a high good yield ratio. The sides of the LEDs 410 away from the backboard body 100 are packaged with the protective film 500 to thereby protect the LEDs 410 from falling off or being damaged.

Furthermore after the step S3000, the method further includes step S4000 of detecting whether the LED is qualified and causing the unqualified LEDs 410 to fall off, where the step S4000 includes:

step S4100 is to power on at least a part of the lead-out electrodes 230, to scan the LEDs 410, and to record the positions of the unqualified LEDs 410;

step S4200 is to power off coil structures 210 corresponding to the unqualified LEDs 410 so that the unqualified LEDs 410 fall off; and

step S4300 is to power on the coil structures 210 corresponding to the unqualified LEDs after the LEDs 410 fall off, and to supplement another LEDs 410 correspondingly.

In some embodiments, the transfer body 300 includes a substrate 310, and a blue film 320 adhered on the surface of a substrate 310, where the LEDs 410 are bonded on the blue film 320.

In the step S3000, releasing the LEDs 410 on the transfer body 300 onto the LED installation mounts includes: photolyzing or pyrolyzing the blue film 320 so that the LEDs 410 in the transfer body are not bonded, and the coil structures 210 in the LED installation mounts absorb the pins 420 of the LEDs 410 onto corresponding lead-out electrodes 230 using the magnetic field.

However it shall be noted that the transfer body 300 can alternatively absorb the LEDs 410 electrostatically, using a magnetic force, etc.

Evidently those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Thus the disclosure is also intended to encompass these modifications and variations thereto so long as the modifications and variations come into the scope of the claims appended to the disclosure and their equivalents.
